avenue. This territory contained four
large buildings. The main building was
800 by 475 feet. In it a portion of the
killing was done, and the hanging, cutting
packing, curing and other work incidenta,
to Strengthening establishment. Except
the curing room, in which were 100000
pounds of short ribs, the main building
and it's contents are a total loss. The
curing room, 100 by $50 feet and four
stories high lost its roof, bnt stone fire
walls saved its contents, some of them IN
a roasted condition. On the east side of
the main building was the warehouse,
12O by 400 feet, with four stories and a
basement. The two upper floors at the.
south end were used for killing purposes
In the warehouse were II 900 barrels of
mess pork belonging to Armour d Co.
The building and much of the pork was
wholly destroyed. About 5000 live hogs
were in the building when the fire started
but the company employees succeeded
in getting most Of them out. Between
600 and 700 hogs were burned alive in
the building. Back of the main build
ing was the fertilizing factory, 100 feet
square, and the engine house so by 60
feet. Both structures we're burned COM
pletely.

morning"
"Did he catch any?" asked Mrs. Merritt,
becoming interested.
Yes, indeed, was the proud reply;
"Brown is an expert angler and landed 200
brook trout
"Won't you give me enough fer dinner? ~
pleaded Mrs. Merritt; we all like trout SO
very much.''
II can't, my DEAR" was the innocent re-
PLY. "You see, it is SO early in the season
that the fish were very small, aud Brown
put thena back in the lake as soon as be
caught them. He says he'll go back in a
month or so, when they have grown big,
and then I'll give you all you want

Honey AS Medicine

Lastyeaa French tourist, M. Guilmeth
by name, paid visit to Tasmania, and
being much interested in its indig
vegetatihn, examined the numerous var
ieties of the eucalyptus which flourish in
thas island. His Investigations brought
him into contact with small black bee
which stores its honey in the E. globulus
He found this honey emitted a strong
oder as of gum leaves. Collecting some
he carried it to Europe for the purpose OF
having it analysed, and of ascertaining
whether it possessed any special qualities
1t was carefully studied by NJ. Thomas
